Overview
 Film School Zlin is a private, post-secondary school in the Czech Republic that specializes in the production of film, video and animation. We offer three, 2-year Diploma Programs in Czech: Animation, Producing & Directing and Audiovisual Technology. We also offer short programs in English: 2-Week Summer Animation Workshop and 6-Month Animation Mentorship Program. The current faculty and staff of Film School Zlín include over twenty professional animators and filmmakers. Our talented students consistently win top prizes at Student Film Festivals in all parts of the world.
Film School Zlín was founded in 1992 by Czech film director Elmar Klos. Together with longtime collaborator Jan Kadar, Klos directed The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze), which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1965. Klos chose to situate the school within the grounds of the historic Ateliéry Bonton Zlín where he started his own career as a script editor in the 1930s. Over the past 70 years, more than 2000 films have been made in the Zlín Studios. Today, students get the rare chance to study and work in the very same studios where early Czech animators Hermína Týrlová and Karel Zeman created such classics as Ferda Mravenec (Ferda the Ant), Vanoci Sen (The Christmas Dream) and Cesta do praveku (Journey to Prehistory).
Zlínsky Kraj (The Zlín Region) is located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, sharing a border with Slovakia for 103km. The city of Zlín is the administrative center of the region and is home to almost 80,000 people. The city is perhaps best-known for its remarkable functionalist architecture and as the birthplace of Tomáš Bat’a, founder of the vast Bat’a Shoe Empire.
